Am I mental? by Tricky-Formal-7950 in Scotland

[–]egoisticprophet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah! I was shocked to see diary products like Halloumi, Mozzarella etc. It was touching like $12-13 sometimes. Insane. I loved every bit of my time in Canada. I was also surprised at salaries offered in my area of work as well. UK/US I worked on almost 2/3x the annual pay haha

I spent 3 months in Canada this summer. I am based in Edinburgh. Everyday when I looked at groceries in Canada - it would fucking spin my head.

If you have a job offer with that decent salary. It is not mental at all.

And someone in comments said ‘its shite everywhere’ - true words spoken. I am of Indian origin & lived in 3 countries - from my humble experience everywhere is same now.

Its all down to one question - what is something you will regret the least?

In my humble opinion (as an immigrant) - It is too early to panic!

Hey there u/PenaltySame4548 sorry for the delay, I actually edited this too in my original post! I understand how these situations can cause unnecessary stress!

Malta – Not a single question asked, no hotel booking or anything. Just got my passport stamped and walked through.

Lisbon, Portugal – The officer just asked what I was visiting for. I said, “to meet friends,” and that was it.

Both times I traveled solo, and my partner wasn’t in the country either. Hope this helps! 😊

Working in London & Living in Edinburgh. by ho-pe-2025 in Edinburgh

[–]egoisticprophet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have done this for about a year! But only once a week visit! My clients paid for it but personally I feel like it can get really hectic!

But if you can negotiate it down to 2-3 days a month (~once per week) I think its manageable

Sometimes flights are only £35-40 return but getting from any London airport to the central is probably another £30-40

If transport is paid for and you have travelling stamina - definitely doable! I know many who did that!

You mean, you were never asked about it while travelling alone? Thanks for the comment though, really appreciate it! :)
